Kindveilige verpakking

Wat is een kindveilige verpakking?

To understand the benefits of child resistant packaging, it is important to know what it is exactly. Child resistant packaging is a type of packaging that is designed to be difficult for children to open while remaining accessible for adults. It usually features unique locking mechanisms that demand a specific sequence of actions to open, something children cannot fully comprehend yet. This type of packaging is employed for products that could be harmful to children if ingested, such as medicines, chemicals and household products. Take our child resistant carton for example. The way this works is that there is a carton and a plastic tray that holds the product. For the product to be accessed, the tray needs to be pulled out like a drawer. To do so, two hooks on the top of the carton need to be pressed simultaneously. This is something children are unable to do.

Het belang van kindveilige verpakking

Studies reveal that medicines are a leading cause of non-fatal poisoning incidents in numerous countries. World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF report that poisoning is common among children aged 1 to 5 years. The reason for this is that they are curious and explore their environment using all their senses. Most unintentional poisoning cases occur in living rooms and during the afternoon. Consequently, specially designed child resistant packaging is a crucial necessity in every household. By simply adding a few elements to the opening mechanism, a lot of incidents can be prevented. Research has shown that implementing this type of packaging has led to a significant decrease in incidents and fatalities among young children from accidental poisonings. This emphasizes the importance of Locked4Kids’ revolutionary child resistant packaging.

It is challenging to create something that is so simple, cost-effective and easy to produce. At the same time, it should be easy to open for everyone, except for children of course. That is why Ecobliss started the development of Locked4Kids cartons in 2013. Beside the functional advantage, it is also the most economical solution: Locked4Kids is cost-effective. It offers a cost-effective production of child resistant packaging, as it can be produced on standard cartoning equipment. This packaging has been developed for high-speed automated production on standard pharmaceutical packaging equipment, in which blister strips are loaded and then inserted into the packaging. This is as fast as regular (non-child-resistant) packaging.
